Image processing method for an identity document

An image processing method, for an identity document that comprises a data page, comprises acquiring a digital image of the page of data of the identity document. The method further comprises assigning a class or a super-class to the candidate identity document via automatic classification of the digital image by a machine-learning algorithm trained beforehand on a set of reference images in a training phase; processing the digital image to obtain a set of at least one intermediate image the weight of which is lower than or equal to the weight of the digital image; applying discrimination to the intermediate image using a discriminator neural network; and generating an output signal as output from the discriminator neural network, the value of which is representative of the probability that the candidate identity document is an authentic document or a fake.
